Title: Echoes of Yesterday
Stanza 1
I walk the halls where laughter rang,
The echoes hum a gentle song.
Each painted wall, a whispered tale,
Of days that felt so bright, so long.
Stanza 2
The playground waits with empty swings,
Its chains still hum the summer breeze.
I see our names carved in the wood,
Like secrets held by ancient trees.
Stanza 3
Though time has flown on silent wings,
Its feathers brushed across my heart.
The past still glows in golden light,
A spark that never will depart.
